00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the state of New York has made it legal to murder children in the womb through every stage of development.
00:00:07.480 So we're going to talk about this barbaric, satanic law.
00:00:12.100 I've got plenty to say about it, as you can imagine.
00:00:14.260 Also, some new revelations about Native American elder Nathan Phillips make it even clearer that he is a bully and an instigator.
00:00:22.620 So we're going to talk about that as well today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:24.960 Well, hello and welcome, everybody, to the show.
00:00:31.100 Thanks for watching. Thanks for being here.
00:00:32.840 I remind you that if you want to get the whole show and not just a small sliver of it on Facebook,
00:00:37.380 you can subscribe on iTunes or go to YouTube or become a premium subscriber of The Daily Wire.
00:00:43.320 Or you could do all three, even. That would be best of all.
00:00:46.280 As you can see, I am doing my best impression of professionalism today with my outfit.
00:00:53.940 I know it's not a very convincing impression, but it's the best I can do.
00:00:57.860 All right, I want to talk about first—well, I don't want to talk about this,
00:01:01.480 but it's necessary to talk about something utterly horrific.
00:01:05.860 The state of New York, in an act of unspeakable, unconscionable barbarism,
00:01:13.880 has made abortion legal through every stage of development up until birth,
00:01:19.560 which means that now in the state of New York, you can kill your child,
00:01:24.440 your fully formed, fully developed, pain-capable infant child, even a minute before delivery.
00:01:32.900 Now, I remind you that, just to put this in context, in New York City,
00:01:38.900 the abortion rate is so high, especially among minorities,
00:01:43.920 that more black babies are aborted than born in the city.
00:01:47.640 You're more likely, as a black baby in the womb, you're more likely to be killed than to be born.
00:01:54.080 That's just—that is how—and the rate is very high among white babies as well.
00:01:58.580 But that just shows you—it just shows you how common abortion is.
00:02:02.080 And the state legislature, they're looking at that and they're saying,
00:02:04.780 no, that's not enough. You know, the rate's not high enough.
00:02:07.280 There aren't enough dead babies yet, so let's pass this law.
00:02:10.060 And that's what they did.
00:02:13.060 Now, here's a little bit more from The Daily Wire.
00:02:15.860 And Amanda Presto-Giacomo wrote a great detailed piece about this,
00:02:21.200 which is up now. You can go read it.
00:02:22.740 It says,
00:02:23.100 And this is important. Okay, listen to this.
00:02:48.020 Every individual who becomes pregnant—every individual, by the way,
00:02:52.680 so not every woman, but every individual in case a man gets pregnant,
00:02:55.700 which, of course, does happen, apparently, these days.
00:02:59.520 Every individual who becomes pregnant has the fundamental right
00:03:02.880 to choose to carry the pregnancy to term,
00:03:05.800 to give birth to the child, or to have an abortion.
00:03:08.860 So long as a licensed practitioner acts in good faith,
00:03:12.060 a baby can be murdered in the womb up to birth
00:03:14.220 in order to, quote, protect the patient's life or health.
00:03:18.620 Notably, the meaning of the word health is not defined
00:03:21.140 within the legislation.
00:03:25.340 Okay, so there are a few things to highlight here.
00:03:31.060 You're going to hear liberals latching on to what I just read there
00:03:35.320 about the, you know, protect the woman's life or health.
00:03:38.980 And some of the justifications I've already read on social media
00:03:45.180 are saying that, well, you know, really, this is just—
00:03:47.940 it's just abortion is only legal in order to save the life of the mother.
00:03:53.100 That's also just extreme cases.
00:03:55.120 No, that's not true.
00:03:56.680 Okay, that's simply false.
00:03:58.480 This legislation legalizes abortion
00:04:01.680 through every stage of development
00:04:03.720 for the sake of the mother's health.
00:04:06.760 For the sake of her life, but also her health.
00:04:09.920 Health is a very broad term.
00:04:12.640 It is an intentionally broad term,
00:04:14.820 and it could mean anything.
00:04:16.640 There's a reason why they didn't define it.
00:04:18.560 They didn't get into any more specifics.
00:04:20.740 So are we talking about physical health,
00:04:22.580 emotional health, psychological health,
00:04:24.840 financial health?
00:04:26.880 Well, yeah, we're talking about all of the above.
00:04:30.160 Anything at all.
00:04:30.920 Well, the vagueness of the term
00:04:33.960 leaves it open to mean anything,
00:04:35.940 and that's the point.
00:04:37.040 So you combine the vagueness of this qualification
00:04:40.360 with the fact that the law declares abortion
00:04:43.120 to be a fundamental right
00:04:45.140 for every pregnant individual.
00:04:48.440 You combine those two things,
00:04:49.880 and that clearly means
00:04:51.140 that a woman can get an abortion
00:04:53.360 at any time for any reason, period.
00:04:55.960 That's what it is.
00:04:57.020 The only stipulation is that
00:04:59.860 they might have to
00:05:01.040 kind of vaguely couch their reason
00:05:04.180 in terms of health.
00:05:06.660 That's all.
00:05:07.460 And then they can get the abortion.
00:05:09.220 Second thing to remember is that,
00:05:13.020 and this is sort of irrelevant anyway,
00:05:15.340 considering that this law
00:05:16.440 has nothing to do with it,
00:05:17.080 but the whole idea
00:05:18.320 that you would need abortion
00:05:19.720 to save the life of a mother
00:05:21.560 is a total misnomer.
00:05:23.300 You do not need abortion.
00:05:26.620 That's a thing that doesn't exist.
00:05:30.040 And I know people will say,
00:05:30.780 what about ectopic pregnancies?
00:05:32.020 I'm not talking about ectopic pregnancies.
00:05:33.560 That's a totally separate issue
00:05:34.880 that we could deal with,
00:05:36.140 and I would argue
00:05:38.820 that treating an ectopic pregnancy
00:05:40.040 is not the same thing as an abortion
00:05:41.300 because of the principle of double effect,
00:05:43.520 but that's a totally separate conversation.
00:05:45.820 We're talking about,
00:05:47.340 these are late-term abortions.
00:05:49.400 After 24 weeks,
00:05:50.440 there's no such thing
00:05:52.560 as a ectopic pregnancy
00:05:56.340 in its third trimester.
00:05:57.980 That doesn't exist.
00:06:00.520 So late-term abortions
00:06:02.060 to save the life of the mother,
00:06:04.440 that just,
00:06:05.240 it doesn't exist.
00:06:06.280 That's not a thing.
00:06:08.440 It is a category that doesn't exist.
00:06:12.000 It is never necessary,
00:06:14.180 never, ever,
00:06:15.280 under any circumstances necessary
00:06:17.180 to get a late-term abortion
00:06:18.600 to save the life of the mother,
00:06:20.760 never necessary, period.
00:06:23.300 So anytime someone says that,
00:06:24.820 they say,
00:06:25.140 well, we need,
00:06:26.040 you know,
00:06:26.300 we need to have abortion
00:06:26.980 through all stages
00:06:27.620 in case the life of the mother,
00:06:28.800 just make sure to correct them
00:06:30.260 and say,
00:06:30.980 no, that's false.
00:06:32.960 There has never been a scenario
00:06:35.060 ever in history,
00:06:36.860 ever,
00:06:38.200 where a woman
00:06:39.400 in the second or third trimester
00:06:41.180 needed to get an abortion
00:06:42.700 to save her life.
00:06:43.800 Never.
00:06:46.780 Why?
00:06:47.220 Well, the reason is obvious.
00:06:49.540 Okay,
00:06:49.940 what kind of thing
00:06:51.580 could make a later-term abortion
00:06:53.380 necessary?
00:06:54.860 Just think about
00:06:55.360 what might come up
00:06:56.720 that would
00:06:57.160 supposedly necessitate that.
00:07:00.700 Well,
00:07:00.900 there could be
00:07:01.220 some kind of cataclysmic
00:07:02.300 complication with the child.
00:07:05.240 There could be
00:07:06.000 a health problem
00:07:06.640 with the mother.
00:07:08.860 There are situations
00:07:09.760 you hear about
00:07:10.120 where the mother
00:07:10.560 is diagnosed
00:07:11.120 with some aggressive
00:07:12.720 form of cancer
00:07:13.540 while she's pregnant
00:07:14.260 and she can't treat it
00:07:15.240 while she's pregnant.
00:07:16.560 So, you know,
00:07:17.320 I've heard that
00:07:18.180 proposed as an example
00:07:19.960 of something
00:07:20.420 where an abortion
00:07:21.020 is necessary
00:07:21.800 to save the life
00:07:22.420 of the mother.
00:07:23.580 But whatever the case is,
00:07:25.800 all it means
00:07:27.340 is that the baby
00:07:29.300 has to come out.
00:07:30.960 Okay?
00:07:33.080 It means that the mother
00:07:34.360 has to give birth.
00:07:35.280 She has to get the baby
00:07:36.220 out of her.
00:07:37.520 And those sorts of cases
00:07:38.840 do happen
00:07:39.460 where there is something
00:07:41.100 cataclysmic
00:07:41.960 that goes wrong
00:07:42.800 either with the mother
00:07:43.680 or the child.
00:07:45.320 And now the pregnancy
00:07:46.800 could be fatal
00:07:47.780 to both of them
00:07:49.440 potentially.
00:07:50.260 So, the pregnancy
00:07:51.460 has to end.
00:07:53.580 Okay?
00:07:55.220 So, what does that mean?
00:07:56.840 Well, as I said,
00:07:57.380 all it means
00:07:57.900 is that the child
00:07:58.760 has to come out.
00:07:59.980 The child has to be delivered
00:08:01.400 much earlier
00:08:02.360 than expected.
00:08:04.520 And the question is,
00:08:06.240 why do you need
00:08:07.080 to kill the child
00:08:08.560 first?
00:08:09.900 Why does the
00:08:10.700 preemptive killing
00:08:11.900 of the child
00:08:12.620 contribute to the
00:08:13.560 mother's health?
00:08:14.360 If a mother
00:08:14.800 is at 30 weeks
00:08:15.720 and something
00:08:16.340 cataclysmic
00:08:16.860 has gone wrong,
00:08:17.940 pregnancy has to end.
00:08:18.980 Okay, that happens.
00:08:20.500 It's a terrible thing.
00:08:21.560 Very difficult.
00:08:22.860 So, you take
00:08:24.520 the baby out.
00:08:26.980 That's all.
00:08:27.580 You don't need
00:08:28.000 to kill the baby.
00:08:29.000 You just take
00:08:29.540 the baby out.
00:08:31.460 Either way,
00:08:32.180 the baby has to come out.
00:08:34.920 In a late-term abortion,
00:08:36.900 okay, the way
00:08:37.420 that these things
00:08:38.840 are conducted,
00:08:39.440 and I hate to be
00:08:40.040 graphic with you,
00:08:40.860 but I think we all
00:08:41.500 should face
00:08:42.080 what these things are.
00:08:44.840 Rather than using
00:08:45.760 euphemisms,
00:08:46.360 I think we should be
00:08:47.020 frank and clear
00:08:48.360 about it.
00:08:49.260 So, here's how
00:08:50.040 a late-term abortion
00:08:50.960 is done.
00:08:53.620 The baby is injected
00:08:55.520 while the child's
00:08:57.080 still in the womb.
00:08:58.260 He is injected
00:08:59.260 with poison
00:08:59.960 into his head
00:09:01.000 or into his torso.
00:09:03.100 And then he dies.
00:09:04.100 And then the mother
00:09:06.300 carries the dead baby
00:09:07.260 around in her body
00:09:09.060 for two or three days.
00:09:11.260 And sometimes
00:09:12.360 she'll go back
00:09:13.720 in the next day
00:09:14.320 and they'll check
00:09:14.860 and the baby's still alive
00:09:15.980 and has been suffering
00:09:17.500 all that time.
00:09:18.540 And so,
00:09:19.180 they inject him again
00:09:20.380 and then he dies.
00:09:22.520 By the way,
00:09:23.080 this is a horrifically
00:09:24.100 painful death
00:09:24.880 for the child.
00:09:25.840 And a child
00:09:26.880 in those later stages
00:09:28.580 absolutely can feel pain.
00:09:30.360 There's no question
00:09:31.000 about it.
00:09:31.460 They've got a developed
00:09:32.680 nervous system.
00:09:33.580 They can feel pain.
00:09:35.040 And to be injected
00:09:36.500 with poison
00:09:37.200 into your skull,
00:09:38.360 well,
00:09:38.540 I don't think I need
00:09:39.020 to explain
00:09:39.660 how incredibly painful
00:09:41.660 that would be.
00:09:43.000 So,
00:09:43.740 the baby's injected
00:09:45.440 with the poison.
00:09:46.660 The mother carries
00:09:47.440 the dead child
00:09:47.960 around in her body.
00:09:50.400 And then she delivers
00:09:51.860 the dead child.
00:09:52.880 There is a delivery
00:09:54.360 that happens.
00:09:55.360 Sometimes she delivers
00:09:56.320 the child in the clinic,
00:09:57.920 but then oftentimes
00:09:59.000 she's not able
00:09:59.700 to get to the,
00:10:00.620 you know,
00:10:01.360 labor comes on
00:10:02.760 very quickly.
00:10:03.240 She's not able
00:10:03.660 to get to the clinic,
00:10:05.980 so she ends up
00:10:06.600 delivering in,
00:10:07.880 say,
00:10:08.060 the hotel bathroom
00:10:09.040 into the toilet
00:10:10.640 or something like that.
00:10:13.040 So,
00:10:13.680 again,
00:10:14.880 the question is,
00:10:16.400 the mother has to go in,
00:10:18.180 you know,
00:10:18.540 if the baby's,
00:10:20.480 if the mother decides
00:10:21.300 for whatever reason
00:10:22.240 at that stage
00:10:23.520 that she doesn't want
00:10:25.120 the baby inside her anymore,
00:10:27.260 she's going to have
00:10:28.520 to deliver the child
00:10:29.420 regardless.
00:10:31.360 there is no medical reason
00:10:34.080 ever
00:10:34.660 why you would need
00:10:36.520 to kill the baby first.
00:10:38.860 You could have just as well
00:10:40.140 delivered the healthy baby.
00:10:42.900 That in-between step
00:10:45.180 of injecting poison
00:10:46.500 into his skull,
00:10:48.160 obviously that doesn't contribute
00:10:49.720 to the mother's health,
00:10:50.980 and obviously it's just
00:10:52.580 another step
00:10:53.380 that's more dangerous
00:10:54.480 for the mother
00:10:55.760 and clearly the child as well.
00:10:57.080 So the injection
00:11:01.260 of poison
00:11:02.060 into this process,
00:11:03.720 that doesn't make it
00:11:05.240 medically safer
00:11:06.920 for anybody.
00:11:10.780 So, again,
00:11:11.960 if she's 20,
00:11:12.800 I have to,
00:11:13.440 I just,
00:11:13.740 I feel like this needs
00:11:14.320 to be emphasized
00:11:14.780 because I keep hearing this
00:11:15.900 and it makes no sense.
00:11:16.840 If she's 26 weeks
00:11:18.460 or 30 or 32
00:11:19.380 or whatever,
00:11:20.660 she could deliver
00:11:22.480 the child
00:11:23.060 and the child
00:11:24.400 could easily survive.
00:11:25.780 Easily.
00:11:27.220 The preemptive murder
00:11:28.580 of the child
00:11:29.440 is not ever necessary
00:11:31.380 for her health.
00:11:32.340 Ever.
00:11:32.920 It is just murder.
00:11:34.300 It is just death.
00:11:35.340 It is killing.
00:11:36.060 That's all.
00:11:36.460 I'm sorry to be graphic
00:11:39.840 with you,
00:11:40.260 by the way,
00:11:40.840 describing how this happens,
00:11:42.100 but I think it's important
00:11:42.860 to be frank
00:11:43.640 about what we're dealing with,
00:11:44.840 not to cover it
00:11:45.740 in these kind of code words
00:11:47.100 and everything
00:11:47.440 that the pro-abortion left
00:11:49.040 likes to use
00:11:49.840 because they cannot confront
00:11:51.640 the wickedness
00:11:53.020 of this procedure
00:11:54.600 that they support.
00:11:57.980 And we should be clear
00:11:59.300 that the state of New York
00:12:00.900 just made it legal
00:12:01.940 to give a fully developed infant
00:12:04.240 a lethal injection.
00:12:05.500 That's what happened.
00:12:06.460 Which brings us
00:12:08.480 to an interesting point,
00:12:09.860 by the way,
00:12:11.020 because let's look
00:12:12.320 at this dichotomy here.
00:12:14.040 It is unconstitutional
00:12:16.160 in the state of New York
00:12:18.480 to give the lethal injection
00:12:20.480 to convicted criminals.
00:12:21.660 They don't have
00:12:22.020 the death penalty.
00:12:22.640 They haven't had it
00:12:23.200 for many years.
00:12:24.760 And it's been ruled
00:12:25.760 unconstitutional.
00:12:27.520 So if a man
00:12:29.860 rapes and murders
00:12:31.160 a child,
00:12:31.780 for instance,
00:12:32.680 in the state of New York,
00:12:33.780 you cannot give him
00:12:34.880 lethal injection.
00:12:35.500 It is unconstitutional.
00:12:37.100 Which means
00:12:37.960 that the lethal injection
00:12:40.280 can only be administered
00:12:42.460 to babies
00:12:43.500 in New York.
00:12:44.760 Think about that.
00:12:47.420 The lethal injection
00:12:48.420 is legal in New York,
00:12:49.600 but only if you're
00:12:50.480 giving it to a baby.
00:12:54.740 I mean,
00:12:55.100 here's the thing.
00:12:56.320 This is why
00:12:56.900 I always say that
00:12:58.180 abortion is a litmus test issue.
00:13:00.620 not just a litmus test
00:13:02.720 for politicians,
00:13:03.620 although it is that,
00:13:05.180 but it's a litmus test
00:13:06.320 for human beings
00:13:07.220 in general.
00:13:09.260 It tells me
00:13:10.540 kind of like
00:13:10.880 everything I need
00:13:11.520 to know about you
00:13:12.340 as a human being
00:13:13.420 because you are
00:13:15.840 just not a decent person
00:13:17.020 if you support
00:13:18.000 giving lethal injection
00:13:18.960 to infants.
00:13:20.140 You are a sick
00:13:21.100 and perverted person
00:13:22.140 if you support that.
00:13:24.400 And then I realize
00:13:25.240 that I'm calling
00:13:25.800 millions of Americans
00:13:26.760 sick and perverted,
00:13:27.740 but so be it.
00:13:30.820 I wish we didn't have
00:13:31.800 all these sick
00:13:32.280 and perverted people
00:13:33.000 out there,
00:13:33.520 but we do.
00:13:37.100 And I really mean it.
00:13:38.640 I want you to know
00:13:39.100 how deeply I mean it.
00:13:40.080 That if you're watching
00:13:40.700 this right now,
00:13:41.200 you're listening
00:13:41.660 and you support this
00:13:43.000 and you think this is okay
00:13:43.860 and you're kind of offended
00:13:45.640 now, you're saying,
00:13:46.060 well, how dare you
00:13:46.800 call me sick and perverted?
00:13:48.100 Well, yeah,
00:13:48.600 that's what I'm calling you
00:13:49.540 because you are.
00:13:50.200 That's what you are.
00:13:51.360 I wish you weren't that.
00:13:53.660 I wish you were
00:13:54.420 a better person
00:13:55.180 than you are,
00:13:55.880 but right now
00:13:56.480 you're just not
00:13:57.000 a good person.
00:13:57.740 Because good people
00:14:01.280 don't support
00:14:01.980 giving lethal injection
00:14:02.840 to babies.
00:14:03.660 And I feel like
00:14:04.360 I'm setting the bar
00:14:05.780 pretty low here.
00:14:07.180 That's not a high bar
00:14:08.280 to get over.
00:14:10.680 I mean,
00:14:11.220 if you can't even
00:14:11.860 clear that bar
00:14:12.880 of not supporting
00:14:14.280 the lethal injection
00:14:15.180 for infants,
00:14:16.620 then, I mean,
00:14:17.920 there's nothing
00:14:18.200 I can do for you.
00:14:18.900 You're just not
00:14:19.300 a good person.
00:14:21.820 But there's still
00:14:22.580 hope for you
00:14:23.140 and I pray for you,
00:14:24.020 but you just,
00:14:24.500 you need to
00:14:25.060 let go of this,
00:14:26.840 horrible,
00:14:28.880 horrible ideology
00:14:30.800 that you're clinging to.
00:14:33.380 All right.
00:14:35.720 Here's another story
00:14:36.720 from the Daily Wire.
00:14:38.400 Amanda had this one, too.
00:14:39.560 I get like half my stories
00:14:40.500 from Amanda
00:14:40.940 in case you hadn't noticed.
00:14:43.080 She reports,
00:14:43.960 soon after Native American
00:14:44.960 activist Nathan Phillips
00:14:46.260 confronted high school boys
00:14:47.640 from Covington Catholic
00:14:48.380 in front of the Lincoln Memorial,
00:14:49.280 He reportedly led a protest
00:14:51.640 of about 20 fellow
00:14:53.520 Native activists
00:14:54.320 attempting to crash
00:14:56.480 the Basilica
00:14:57.180 of the National Shrine
00:14:57.960 of the Immaculate Conception's
00:14:59.360 Saturday evening mass.
00:15:02.740 According to the
00:15:03.500 Catholic News Agency,
00:15:05.080 while chanting
00:15:05.800 and playing ceremonial drums,
00:15:07.700 a group of Native American
00:15:08.740 rights activists
00:15:09.480 reportedly led
00:15:10.320 by Nathan Phillips
00:15:11.000 attempted on January 19th
00:15:13.060 to enter Washington,
00:15:14.220 D.C.'s Basilica
00:15:15.140 during the mass.
00:15:16.660 The group of 20 demonstrators
00:15:17.860 was stopped by Shrine Security
00:15:19.360 as it tried to enter the church
00:15:20.800 during its 515 Vigil Mass.
00:15:24.520 So Nathan Phillips,
00:15:28.000 now this is,
00:15:28.820 we were told that Nathan Phillips,
00:15:30.400 well, he was just trying
00:15:32.000 to intervene
00:15:32.800 and restore peace and order
00:15:34.740 and everything like that.
00:15:36.040 Well, then he goes
00:15:36.700 and he tries to barge
00:15:37.780 into a church.
00:15:39.780 As I've been saying
00:15:40.740 for days now,
00:15:41.800 Nathan Phillips is a fraud
00:15:43.040 and a bully
00:15:43.560 and an agitator,
00:15:45.400 an instigator,
00:15:46.500 and nothing more.
00:15:47.860 Phillips inserted himself
00:15:49.500 into a tense situation
00:15:52.700 where children
00:15:53.920 were being taunted
00:15:54.820 and mocked
00:15:55.580 by grown men
00:15:56.380 and rather than
00:15:57.620 coming to their defense,
00:15:58.820 which would have been
00:15:59.660 the good and heroic thing
00:16:01.340 to do,
00:16:01.740 rather than doing that,
00:16:03.040 he gets in their face,
00:16:03.980 he invades their space
00:16:04.820 and starts playing
00:16:05.780 the drum in their faces.
00:16:07.600 And then he's not
00:16:08.400 even satisfied
00:16:09.100 because after that incident,
00:16:10.380 he goes and tries
00:16:11.220 to invade a church.
00:16:12.700 I mean,
00:16:12.820 this guy's desperate
00:16:13.600 for attention.
00:16:14.140 He's desperate
00:16:14.600 for controversy.
00:16:15.300 He's trying to provoke
00:16:16.140 everybody.
00:16:18.100 But, of course,
00:16:19.160 before he went
00:16:20.180 and tried to invade
00:16:20.900 the church,
00:16:21.720 the first thing he did
00:16:22.760 is he went to the media
00:16:23.600 and he blatantly
00:16:25.740 lied about the kids.
00:16:26.940 He said that they
00:16:27.400 surrounded him,
00:16:28.180 they wouldn't let him leave.
00:16:29.560 Video evidence proves
00:16:30.760 that's a lie.
00:16:31.400 He said that they chanted
00:16:32.080 build the wall,
00:16:33.320 which again,
00:16:34.060 video evidence contradicts.
00:16:35.780 He tried to provoke
00:16:37.380 them, apparently,
00:16:38.580 and when he wasn't able
00:16:40.020 to provoke them,
00:16:40.600 he just went and defamed
00:16:41.600 them instead,
00:16:42.340 kind of as a plan B.
00:16:44.360 And you might want
00:16:45.000 to think,
00:16:46.220 you know,
00:16:46.400 if you hadn't heard
00:16:47.280 about the story
00:16:47.860 and you just saw all that,
00:16:49.060 you might say,
00:16:49.780 well, you know,
00:16:50.340 maybe the guy's
00:16:51.080 having a bad day.
00:16:53.340 His behavior
00:16:54.100 was certainly bizarre
00:16:55.140 and dishonest
00:16:55.960 and despicable
00:16:56.540 and manipulative,
00:16:58.060 but, you know,
00:16:59.780 maybe he'll think
00:17:00.280 better of it in the morning
00:17:01.140 and he'll apologize.
00:17:02.180 Not so much.
00:17:04.660 While his lies
00:17:06.440 have resulted
00:17:07.180 in death threats
00:17:08.060 and bomb scares,
00:17:09.160 so much so
00:17:10.460 that the school
00:17:11.000 had to shut down
00:17:11.880 for a day
00:17:12.460 and these kids
00:17:13.760 now live in fear
00:17:14.720 of physical reprisals,
00:17:16.180 while all that
00:17:16.920 has gone on,
00:17:18.100 Phillips has only
00:17:18.820 doubled and tripled
00:17:19.820 down on his
00:17:21.100 original slander.
00:17:22.260 He's done the exact
00:17:23.260 opposite of backpedal
00:17:24.660 or apologize.
00:17:25.620 No, he's just gone,
00:17:26.260 he's gone further.
00:17:28.500 In various interviews,
00:17:30.280 he's called the boys
00:17:32.040 a lynch mob,
00:17:33.000 he's called them beasts,
00:17:34.100 he's called them beastly,
00:17:35.300 he's called them scary.
00:17:38.000 I remind you
00:17:38.880 that these boys
00:17:39.500 are getting death threats
00:17:40.560 and their families
00:17:41.680 are getting death threats
00:17:42.640 and Nathan Phillips,
00:17:44.180 the wise old elder,
00:17:46.240 just continues
00:17:46.980 to pour gasoline
00:17:48.100 on the fire.
00:17:49.680 It's almost as if
00:17:51.320 he is trying
00:17:52.260 to get these boys hurt
00:17:53.580 or worse.
00:17:55.700 Now, the media
00:17:56.620 continues to tell us
00:17:57.660 that Nathan Phillips
00:17:58.340 is just this kind old man
00:17:59.880 who wants peace
00:18:01.100 and understanding
00:18:02.140 and harmony.
00:18:03.180 Well, he's got a really
00:18:03.860 funny way of showing it,
00:18:04.960 doesn't he?
00:18:05.480 In fact, originally,
00:18:06.680 he was offered
00:18:07.800 an opportunity
00:18:08.480 to come
00:18:09.180 and sit down
00:18:10.320 and break bread
00:18:11.020 with the kids
00:18:12.120 and have a dialogue
00:18:13.360 and he turned it down
00:18:14.520 and then he hinted
00:18:17.240 in the next breath
00:18:18.200 that he thinks
00:18:19.320 maybe they should be expelled.
00:18:21.520 So he's offered
00:18:22.320 the chance
00:18:22.800 to meet with them
00:18:24.280 and he's saying,
00:18:25.180 no, you know what,
00:18:25.640 but let's expel them first
00:18:26.880 and then we'll talk.
00:18:28.140 Of course,
00:18:28.600 now he's saying
00:18:30.380 that, okay,
00:18:30.980 you know,
00:18:31.260 I will meet with them,
00:18:32.620 but he's only going
00:18:33.820 to meet with them
00:18:34.620 if it means
00:18:35.260 that they sit down
00:18:36.460 and he stands
00:18:37.100 and he delivers a lecture
00:18:38.620 on cultural appropriation.
00:18:40.440 So he's willing
00:18:41.260 to come and lecture them,
00:18:42.920 but as far as the dialogue,
00:18:44.000 no, he's got no interest
00:18:44.740 in that.
00:18:46.020 And then kind of
00:18:47.060 the cherry on the Sunday,
00:18:50.100 Phillips yesterday
00:18:51.020 was interviewed by,
00:18:52.120 I think by a newspaper
00:18:55.840 in Detroit,
00:18:56.460 I believe,
00:18:57.080 and he said that
00:18:58.220 the black Israelites
00:18:59.200 who started this whole thing
00:19:01.400 by yelling racial slurs
00:19:04.180 and so on,
00:19:05.120 he said that,
00:19:05.940 yeah,
00:19:07.140 they were saying
00:19:07.760 some harsh things,
00:19:09.240 but he says
00:19:10.120 some of it was true.
00:19:13.140 Okay, Mr. Phillips,
00:19:14.480 which parts were true?
00:19:16.480 The parts where they called
00:19:17.380 Native Americans
00:19:18.260 totem pole worshipers?
00:19:19.840 Was that part true?
00:19:20.620 Did you even know
00:19:21.140 they said that?
00:19:22.780 Or were they shouted
00:19:23.940 the F words,
00:19:25.500 you know,
00:19:25.920 slur word for gay people?
00:19:27.800 Was that the true part?
00:19:29.200 Or were they shouting
00:19:31.820 racial slurs
00:19:32.600 at a black student
00:19:33.460 at the school
00:19:34.080 and saying that
00:19:34.640 his white friends
00:19:35.320 are going to harvest
00:19:35.900 his organs?
00:19:37.000 Was that the true part?
00:19:38.800 Or were they called
00:19:39.860 the kids incest babies
00:19:41.640 and future school shooters?
00:19:44.860 Nathan Phillips
00:19:45.620 has taken the side
00:19:47.180 of avowed racists
00:19:48.640 who verbally assaulted
00:19:49.940 a bunch of children.
00:19:51.960 So whatever credibility
00:19:53.060 he had up until that point,
00:19:55.160 which he had none,
00:19:56.280 is now gone.
00:19:56.880 So he's now in the negative.
00:19:58.120 He's like,
00:19:59.080 he's racking up
00:20:00.220 overdraft penalties
00:20:01.240 right now
00:20:01.680 in his credibility account.
00:20:06.180 This is just,
00:20:08.540 you know,
00:20:08.820 the media has certainly
00:20:10.420 canonized
00:20:11.240 some absurdly unworthy
00:20:13.400 characters in the past,
00:20:15.680 but this may be
00:20:17.640 the most glaringly
00:20:20.520 unworthy saint
00:20:22.900 yet to be canonized
00:20:24.480 by the media.
00:20:25.620 He is no hero.
00:20:27.720 He is no champion
00:20:28.880 for peace.
00:20:30.240 He is a bully.
00:20:32.440 Plain and simple.
00:20:33.300 That's all he is.
00:20:36.060 He's just a bad person.
00:20:38.740 You know.
00:20:42.600 By the way,
00:20:43.320 think about what the,
00:20:44.940 I'm just putting this
00:20:45.880 together in my head,
00:20:46.640 but think about this.
00:20:48.700 Think about what
00:20:49.300 the left has done
00:20:50.280 just over the last,
00:20:51.580 say, like three days.
00:20:52.360 So they started the week
00:20:54.700 slandering
00:20:56.580 and defaming
00:20:57.520 and smearing
00:20:58.540 a bunch of high school kids.
00:21:01.220 And now with this,
00:21:02.420 the passage of this
00:21:03.120 abortion law in New York,
00:21:04.200 they're celebrating
00:21:05.240 the mass murder
00:21:06.080 of infants.
00:21:08.520 I mean,
00:21:09.020 this is just,
00:21:09.740 this is just
00:21:11.180 cartoonishly evil.
00:21:12.840 So much so
00:21:16.200 that if you're
00:21:16.600 on that side
00:21:17.260 and you're doing this,
00:21:19.160 how do you not
00:21:21.000 just catch
00:21:21.540 your reflection
00:21:22.800 in the mirror
00:21:23.320 for a minute
00:21:23.800 and look at yourself
00:21:24.600 and say,
00:21:25.080 wow,
00:21:25.460 I am evil.
00:21:26.840 This is evil
00:21:27.780 what I'm doing.
00:21:29.080 Do you ever stop
00:21:29.900 and say that
00:21:30.320 to yourself?
00:21:34.480 All right.
00:21:35.060 One other thing
00:21:35.680 I wanted to mention
00:21:36.080 before we get
00:21:36.540 to some of your emails,
00:21:38.820 this is not
00:21:40.060 as,
00:21:40.840 not important at all
00:21:41.680 actually,
00:21:42.200 but,
00:21:42.820 and I don't know
00:21:44.440 why I even still
00:21:45.060 pay attention to this,
00:21:45.840 but Oscar nominations
00:21:46.920 were announced.
00:21:48.180 So the,
00:21:48.560 the Oscar ceremony
00:21:52.340 which has no host
00:21:53.460 and which nobody
00:21:54.260 will watch
00:21:54.980 and nobody cares about,
00:21:57.080 still they announced
00:21:58.240 who they,
00:21:58.780 they have nominated
00:21:59.540 for a best picture.
00:22:00.920 And I really think,
00:22:02.000 and this is saying something,
00:22:02.920 I think it's the,
00:22:03.680 the weakest
00:22:05.180 collection
00:22:08.500 of best picture nominees
00:22:10.180 maybe ever.
00:22:12.420 And there have been
00:22:13.040 some really weak
00:22:14.000 categories,
00:22:16.180 especially recently.
00:22:17.580 But they,
00:22:18.240 I don't have the list
00:22:18.940 in front of me.
00:22:19.420 They nominated
00:22:19.960 Black Panther,
00:22:22.520 a movie Vice,
00:22:23.480 which is just a,
00:22:24.220 kind of an absurd
00:22:25.220 hit piece on Dick Cheney,
00:22:27.100 Black Klansman,
00:22:29.640 Green,
00:22:31.880 Green Book,
00:22:33.000 and there were
00:22:34.100 a couple others
00:22:34.620 in there.
00:22:35.480 Now,
00:22:35.960 what makes it so,
00:22:37.100 what makes it so weak
00:22:38.000 and so bad?
00:22:38.620 Because it's one thing
00:22:39.500 if,
00:22:40.560 well,
00:22:40.800 you've got a weak,
00:22:42.360 you've got some weak
00:22:43.040 best picture nominees,
00:22:44.160 but also there,
00:22:44.860 there really weren't
00:22:45.440 any good movies
00:22:46.060 that came out this year
00:22:46.980 and so then,
00:22:47.680 what,
00:22:48.080 you gotta give the award
00:22:49.120 to somebody.
00:22:50.200 Although I personally,
00:22:51.440 you know,
00:22:51.600 I personally think
00:22:52.240 there should be years
00:22:53.300 where nobody wins
00:22:54.320 best picture.
00:22:55.100 It's,
00:22:55.380 it's sort of like
00:22:55.880 with the,
00:22:56.180 with the Hall of Fame,
00:22:57.880 with these various
00:22:59.340 Hall of Fames,
00:23:00.060 like especially
00:23:00.420 the Basketball Hall of Fame
00:23:01.380 or Football Hall of Fame,
00:23:02.260 where they feel like
00:23:02.820 every year they have to
00:23:03.760 induct new people
00:23:04.640 into the Hall of Fame,
00:23:05.360 which kind of diminishes
00:23:07.420 the value of the Hall of Fame
00:23:08.860 because then you end up
00:23:09.960 with people who are,
00:23:10.840 you know,
00:23:11.140 who are good
00:23:11.860 but don't rise
00:23:13.300 to the level
00:23:13.800 of historically great.
00:23:14.940 There should be
00:23:15.780 many years in a row
00:23:17.260 where just nobody
00:23:18.280 makes it into the Hall of Fame
00:23:19.360 because there hasn't been
00:23:20.140 anyone that good
00:23:21.120 and there should be years
00:23:22.400 where nobody,
00:23:23.460 where the Academy says,
00:23:24.480 you know what,
00:23:24.780 we're not,
00:23:25.120 we can't do an award ceremony
00:23:26.760 this year because nobody,
00:23:28.080 you know,
00:23:28.200 there just,
00:23:28.500 there weren't,
00:23:29.280 there weren't,
00:23:29.900 there really weren't
00:23:30.400 any great movies this year,
00:23:31.320 guys,
00:23:31.480 so check back next year.
00:23:33.700 But this year,
00:23:34.460 there were some great movies.
00:23:36.120 First Man
00:23:36.720 was,
00:23:39.020 was a truly great
00:23:40.640 moving,
00:23:44.620 powerful movie.
00:23:47.200 Also a movie
00:23:48.040 that was subject
00:23:49.080 to absolutely absurd
00:23:50.640 and unwarranted
00:23:51.280 criticism and controversy
00:23:52.500 over the stupid
00:23:53.360 issue of the American flag.
00:23:56.460 Even though the American flag
00:23:57.760 is featured in that movie
00:23:58.960 plenty.
00:24:00.000 It's a very patriotic movie.
00:24:01.440 The only thing
00:24:04.320 they don't show
00:24:05.100 is they,
00:24:05.800 the one particular scene
00:24:07.480 where he actually
00:24:08.080 plants the flag
00:24:08.960 on the moon.
00:24:10.420 They don't show that.
00:24:11.940 Now,
00:24:12.480 they do show the flag
00:24:13.720 waving on the moon,
00:24:14.660 they just don't show
00:24:15.300 the moment
00:24:15.700 where he puts it there,
00:24:16.920 which,
00:24:17.280 who cares?
00:24:17.980 Because do you know
00:24:18.440 what they show instead?
00:24:20.120 They show,
00:24:20.980 they show Armstrong
00:24:23.000 leaving a keepsake
00:24:25.340 on the moon
00:24:26.060 from his,
00:24:26.940 from his young daughter
00:24:28.640 who had died
00:24:29.360 of cancer
00:24:30.560 years before.
00:24:31.960 Which,
00:24:32.260 I didn't even know
00:24:32.780 he did that.
00:24:33.500 But,
00:24:34.100 you know,
00:24:34.240 the movie is,
00:24:35.020 is much more focused
00:24:36.080 on the personal story
00:24:37.840 of this man
00:24:38.800 and what he went through
00:24:40.180 to achieve this amazing thing.
00:24:42.140 Much more focused on him
00:24:43.600 on a personal level
00:24:44.420 than it is focused on
00:24:45.560 kind of the geopolitics
00:24:47.040 or the whole,
00:24:47.700 or the,
00:24:48.280 sort of the bigger picture.
00:24:50.040 And I think that makes it
00:24:51.160 really a powerful movie.
00:24:52.280 It is a movie called
00:24:53.100 First Man.
00:24:55.220 It's not called
00:24:56.040 First Country.
00:24:56.820 Although we were
00:24:57.380 the first country,
00:24:58.100 but it's focused on
00:24:58.860 the man more than
00:24:59.620 the country.
00:25:00.020 And I think that
00:25:02.040 he deserves that anyway
00:25:03.200 because he is the one
00:25:04.540 who achieved this thing.
00:25:05.920 So that's a great movie.
00:25:07.440 It was basically shut out.
00:25:08.560 Wasn't nominated for anything.
00:25:09.700 Quiet Place.
00:25:10.620 Another great movie.
00:25:11.440 It's a horror movie
00:25:14.000 that actually manages
00:25:15.060 to have some substance to it.
00:25:16.660 It actually has suspense.
00:25:18.860 It is legitimately scary,
00:25:21.580 but without resorting to gore
00:25:23.140 or to cheap kind of jump scares
00:25:25.520 or anything.
00:25:26.540 So it's a,
00:25:27.160 it is a,
00:25:27.720 it is a horror movie
00:25:29.300 with some substance
00:25:30.080 and depth to it.
00:25:32.060 And it also features
00:25:33.280 a great kind of
00:25:34.660 father,
00:25:36.840 heroic father figure
00:25:38.240 type of character,
00:25:39.520 which maybe is why
00:25:40.420 it was shut out.
00:25:41.220 You know,
00:25:41.380 the Academy doesn't go
00:25:42.220 for that these days.
00:25:43.180 So those are two great movies
00:25:44.280 that were shut out.
00:25:45.360 And instead we have,
00:25:46.640 instead they nominate
00:25:47.740 a stupid comic book movie.
00:25:49.840 I mean,
00:25:50.820 we're living in an idiocracy,
00:25:53.960 folks,
00:25:54.240 in case you haven't noticed.
00:25:55.620 All right.
00:25:56.120 Finally,
00:25:56.440 let's check the inbox.
00:25:57.860 If you want to send me
00:25:59.100 a message,
00:25:59.680 comment,
00:25:59.980 question,
00:26:00.480 death wish,
00:26:01.200 you can email

00:26:08.040 Steven writes,
00:26:08.780 I have to say,
00:26:09.240 I'm amazed at some
00:26:09.860 of the hate mail you get.
00:26:11.140 The other amazing part
00:26:12.080 is that it's from people
00:26:13.440 who apparently take time
00:26:14.520 to watch the show.
00:26:15.340 I don't know why anyone
00:26:16.040 would find it valuable
00:26:16.900 to listen continually
00:26:18.240 to something they hate
00:26:19.240 and then take time
00:26:19.980 to email you
00:26:20.740 telling you how much
00:26:21.860 they hate you.
00:26:22.620 It's like going to
00:26:23.260 a sushi restaurant
00:26:24.020 when you don't like sushi
00:26:24.940 over and over
00:26:25.680 and over and over.
00:26:26.920 Nonetheless,
00:26:27.280 I listen to your show
00:26:27.840 regularly and I like
00:26:28.620 the thought that goes
00:26:29.360 into it.
00:26:33.140 Steven,
00:26:34.620 thank you,
00:26:35.680 Steven.
00:26:35.880 Don't be amazed though.
00:26:37.840 This is something
00:26:38.500 that everyone
00:26:39.340 in my line of work
00:26:40.120 deals with
00:26:40.720 and we're all
00:26:41.660 perplexed by it.
00:26:43.160 We expect it,
00:26:44.240 okay,
00:26:44.400 so we're not surprised
00:26:45.460 but as far as
00:26:46.680 the psychology
00:26:47.380 of a person
00:26:48.020 who would sit down
00:26:48.920 and listen
00:26:49.680 or read
00:26:51.300 someone that they hate
00:26:55.600 or follow them
00:26:58.080 on social media
00:26:58.780 or whatever,
00:27:00.300 well,
00:27:00.660 the psychology
00:27:01.260 of that is a mystery
00:27:02.200 to me.
00:27:02.440 I think it's a mystery
00:27:03.020 to most of us.
00:27:03.720 Now,
00:27:04.960 it's one thing
00:27:05.920 to read
00:27:06.500 or follow
00:27:07.160 or watch
00:27:07.880 someone you disagree
00:27:09.400 with but respect.
00:27:10.920 Now,
00:27:11.120 that makes a lot
00:27:11.740 of sense.
00:27:12.140 That's a good
00:27:12.960 and healthy thing
00:27:13.620 to do
00:27:13.860 and we should
00:27:14.200 all be doing that.
00:27:15.700 I think it's a good
00:27:16.280 challenge for all of us.
00:27:17.620 You should try
00:27:19.060 to come up
00:27:19.600 with a couple
00:27:20.080 of people
00:27:20.500 who you fundamentally
00:27:21.540 disagree with
00:27:22.340 on a very deep level
00:27:23.640 but yet you respect
00:27:25.740 their opinion
00:27:26.340 and their perspective
00:27:27.100 and so you'll read
00:27:28.340 some of what they write
00:27:29.200 and watch whatever
00:27:30.480 they do
00:27:30.920 and follow them
00:27:32.260 a little bit.
00:27:32.740 You should have
00:27:33.220 a few people
00:27:33.900 like that
00:27:35.120 because I think
00:27:37.200 it challenges
00:27:38.080 your views
00:27:38.560 a little bit,
00:27:39.000 helps to make
00:27:39.460 you a more
00:27:39.720 well-rounded person.
00:27:41.760 For instance,
00:27:42.360 I've probably seen
00:27:43.080 every Christopher Hitchens
00:27:44.160 speech.
00:27:45.040 I've seen most
00:27:45.500 of his debates.
00:27:46.160 I've read one
00:27:46.540 of his books.
00:27:47.440 I've read a lot
00:27:47.980 of his articles.
00:27:49.440 I think he was
00:27:50.140 brilliant,
00:27:50.660 insightful,
00:27:51.520 incredibly witty.
00:27:52.320 I think he's
00:27:53.120 kind of a joy
00:27:53.860 to read
00:27:54.340 and listen to
00:27:55.200 but I disagree
00:27:57.840 with him
00:27:58.260 on a deep
00:27:59.220 and fundamental level.
00:28:00.920 So that's one thing
00:28:04.500 but to religiously
00:28:06.980 follow somebody
00:28:07.960 that you despise
00:28:09.380 and who you
00:28:10.020 don't respect
00:28:10.900 and whose point
00:28:12.400 of view
00:28:12.900 you don't even
00:28:16.780 take into account
00:28:17.660 and you have
00:28:18.120 no appreciation
00:28:18.740 for,
00:28:19.300 well,
00:28:19.880 I can't relate
00:28:21.000 to that.
00:28:21.380 That doesn't
00:28:21.700 make any sense.
00:28:23.340 There are plenty
00:28:24.200 of people in media
00:28:25.120 who I don't
00:28:26.380 really respect
00:28:26.920 and I can't stand
00:28:28.060 and I don't
00:28:28.660 appreciate their
00:28:29.280 opinion.
00:28:29.640 I think
00:28:30.940 that they're
00:28:31.200 just stupid
00:28:31.760 and shallow
00:28:32.300 and their
00:28:33.960 perspective
00:28:34.400 is relatively
00:28:35.180 worthless.
00:28:36.140 So you know
00:28:36.640 what I do?
00:28:37.020 I'm not going
00:28:37.660 to watch them,
00:28:38.580 I'm not going
00:28:38.760 to listen to them.
00:28:39.480 Why would I?
00:28:41.500 But I think
00:28:41.980 some people
00:28:42.440 are so empty
00:28:43.140 inside and so
00:28:44.000 lost and just
00:28:45.120 so hollow
00:28:46.220 and spiritually
00:28:47.800 shriveled up
00:28:48.700 that this is
00:28:50.100 the only thing
00:28:50.800 that makes
00:28:51.140 them feel
00:28:51.540 alive,
00:28:51.960 to hate,
00:28:53.720 to stew
00:28:54.560 gleefully
00:28:55.260 in their own
00:28:56.000 hatred
00:28:56.340 is the only
00:28:56.980 thing that
00:28:57.360 brings them
00:28:57.720 a thrill
00:28:58.060 in life
00:28:58.480 and so
00:28:59.440 it's pretty
00:28:59.920 sad.
00:29:00.960 Norman says,
00:29:01.820 do you think
00:29:02.980 Satanists
00:29:03.640 should be
00:29:04.040 allowed to
00:29:04.460 display
00:29:04.820 sculptures
00:29:05.300 in public
00:29:05.820 places
00:29:06.160 alongside
00:29:06.580 Christian
00:29:07.000 crosses
00:29:07.340 or
00:29:07.540 nativities?
00:29:08.240 Why or
00:29:08.720 why not?
00:29:10.160 Also,
00:29:10.640 should Satanists
00:29:11.180 be allowed
00:29:11.560 to give
00:29:11.880 talks,
00:29:12.420 lectures
00:29:12.700 at public
00:29:13.180 schools
00:29:13.600 if Christians
00:29:14.160 are allowed
00:29:14.540 to host
00:29:14.880 events
00:29:15.200 at public
00:29:15.940 schools?
00:29:16.380 Also,
00:29:16.660 thanks,
00:29:17.040 love your
00:29:17.300 work.
00:29:17.740 To me,
00:29:18.060 this is an
00:29:18.380 easy question.
00:29:18.960 I know this
00:29:19.180 is one of
00:29:19.400 these things
00:29:19.740 that's supposed
00:29:20.100 to be hard
00:29:20.500 to adjudicate.
00:29:21.660 It's an easy
00:29:22.240 answer for me.
00:29:25.000 And you hear
00:29:25.540 about these
00:29:25.940 Satanist groups,
00:29:28.460 maybe that's
00:29:29.100 kind of the
00:29:29.360 same thing.
00:29:29.640 You hear
00:29:30.100 about these
00:29:30.440 Satanist groups
00:29:31.000 that want
00:29:31.240 to put up
00:29:31.580 a satanic
00:29:32.260 monument or
00:29:32.820 something in
00:29:33.180 a town
00:29:33.460 square in
00:29:34.560 response to
00:29:35.420 some sort
00:29:36.140 of Judeo-Christian
00:29:37.100 monument that's
00:29:37.740 up.
00:29:38.260 Well,
00:29:38.900 listen,
00:29:39.500 if there's a
00:29:40.160 town out
00:29:40.840 there that
00:29:42.140 is predominantly
00:29:43.060 populated by
00:29:44.160 Satanists and
00:29:45.880 they want to
00:29:46.620 have a monument
00:29:47.220 in their town
00:29:48.040 square and
00:29:48.960 in their
00:29:49.340 courthouse and
00:29:50.440 wherever else
00:29:51.280 declaring their
00:29:53.380 Satanism and
00:29:54.200 worshiping Satan,
00:29:55.700 then I say,
00:29:56.500 yeah,
00:29:56.660 go for it.
00:29:57.520 Not only do
00:29:58.220 they have the
00:29:58.620 right to do
00:29:59.140 that,
00:29:59.640 but I would
00:30:00.800 prefer if they
00:30:01.660 did.
00:30:02.460 Because if I'm
00:30:03.500 moving or
00:30:04.040 something or
00:30:04.720 if I'm looking
00:30:05.360 to get a
00:30:06.420 timeshare in
00:30:07.220 some particular
00:30:07.800 town and
00:30:10.120 it's 60%
00:30:11.640 populated by
00:30:12.360 Satanists,
00:30:12.880 I would
00:30:13.200 prefer if
00:30:13.760 they announced
00:30:14.280 that fact and
00:30:15.260 made it clear.
00:30:16.700 So if I'm
00:30:17.780 going through
00:30:18.660 the town,
00:30:19.100 looking at
00:30:19.360 apartments,
00:30:20.460 and I see a
00:30:22.780 big monument to
00:30:23.500 Satan right there
00:30:24.160 in the town
00:30:24.560 square, I'll
00:30:25.280 say, okay,
00:30:25.840 well, this
00:30:27.000 isn't the town
00:30:28.300 for me.
00:30:29.640 So, yeah,
00:30:30.840 if I'm a big
00:30:32.640 believer in
00:30:33.160 subsidiarity, I'm
00:30:34.000 a big believer
00:30:34.560 in keeping
00:30:35.980 things as
00:30:36.460 local as
00:30:37.000 possible, I'm
00:30:39.180 a believer in
00:30:39.680 local jurisdiction,
00:30:40.620 so if there's a
00:30:42.600 town like that
00:30:43.500 out there
00:30:44.360 somewhere, a
00:30:47.280 Satanist town,
00:30:48.380 then, yeah, they
00:30:48.980 should be able to
00:30:49.420 put satanic stuff
00:30:50.280 everywhere, and
00:30:51.220 all the rest of
00:30:51.940 us will just stay
00:30:52.960 the hell away,
00:30:53.820 no pun intended.
00:30:54.520 The problem,
00:30:56.960 though, is
00:30:57.960 that in all
00:30:58.580 of these cases
00:30:59.220 that you hear
00:30:59.740 about, where
00:31:01.100 they're trying to
00:31:01.620 put a satanic
00:31:02.340 monument in the
00:31:04.020 town square, or
00:31:04.680 in the courthouse,
00:31:05.340 or whatever, in
00:31:06.540 every single
00:31:07.240 case, it is a,
00:31:10.620 or in most of
00:31:12.480 the cases I can
00:31:13.040 think of, it is
00:31:14.300 some outside
00:31:15.520 group that is
00:31:17.580 trying to do
00:31:18.220 this to prove a
00:31:19.160 point.
00:31:19.460 it's not
00:31:21.920 coming from
00:31:23.260 within the
00:31:23.700 town, and
00:31:26.040 so that I
00:31:26.760 oppose.
00:31:29.320 If a town is
00:31:30.580 mostly Christian,
00:31:33.020 and then some
00:31:34.580 satanic group
00:31:36.080 from seven
00:31:37.700 states away
00:31:38.520 says, we want
00:31:39.120 to put a
00:31:39.380 satanic monument
00:31:40.080 there, well, of
00:31:40.840 course they
00:31:41.100 shouldn't be
00:31:41.360 allowed to do
00:31:41.760 that.
00:31:43.520 They're not
00:31:44.180 even from the
00:31:44.820 town.
00:31:45.200 That doesn't
00:31:45.640 represent the
00:31:46.520 views of the
00:31:47.400 town.
00:31:49.460 From Preston,
00:31:53.380 he says, Matt,
00:31:54.000 I've been a big
00:31:54.440 fan of yours for
00:31:54.980 many years.
00:31:55.380 I used to use
00:31:56.160 your articles for
00:31:56.720 current events in
00:31:57.280 high school.
00:31:58.160 I even listened
00:31:58.580 to your podcast
00:31:59.120 when you were on
00:31:59.520 The Blaze.
00:32:00.300 I recently got
00:32:00.920 married back in
00:32:01.520 November and
00:32:01.960 really respect your
00:32:02.640 views on marriage
00:32:03.160 and family.
00:32:03.580 What are some
00:32:04.000 bits of advice
00:32:04.680 you would give
00:32:05.460 to have a happy
00:32:06.420 and successful
00:32:06.900 marriage?
00:32:07.680 Preston,
00:32:08.000 congratulations.
00:32:08.700 I'm no marriage
00:32:09.340 expert or guru.
00:32:10.240 I've only been
00:32:10.600 married for seven
00:32:11.140 years.
00:32:11.560 I don't think I'm
00:32:12.000 in the spot right
00:32:12.560 now where I can
00:32:13.000 even give advice.
00:32:14.560 If I were to
00:32:15.280 offer one thing,
00:32:16.100 I'll offer this
00:32:16.640 just because it's
00:32:17.220 obvious and it
00:32:19.460 something that
00:32:19.820 when I was
00:32:20.260 married, I
00:32:22.300 didn't realize
00:32:22.900 would be so
00:32:23.380 important and
00:32:23.940 that is gratitude.
00:32:28.200 I know it's
00:32:29.480 obvious, that's
00:32:30.080 the point, but
00:32:30.680 sometimes the
00:32:32.180 most obvious
00:32:32.600 things are the
00:32:33.140 things that we
00:32:33.480 can overlook.
00:32:34.300 So you've got
00:32:36.260 to be grateful
00:32:36.760 for your wife,
00:32:37.500 verbally, openly,
00:32:38.780 obviously grateful.
00:32:41.160 Appreciate what
00:32:41.880 she does, show
00:32:42.800 that you notice,
00:32:43.620 show that you
00:32:44.140 care.
00:32:44.960 If I was
00:32:45.560 talking to your
00:32:47.080 wife, I would
00:32:47.740 say the same
00:32:48.600 thing.
00:32:48.820 Appreciate your
00:32:49.920 husband, be
00:32:50.480 grateful for him,
00:32:51.220 notice what he
00:32:51.860 does.
00:32:52.960 I just think
00:32:53.480 there are so
00:32:53.940 many, in so
00:32:54.820 many unhappy
00:32:55.540 marriages and in
00:32:56.500 so many failing
00:32:57.360 and failed
00:32:57.940 marriages, this is
00:32:59.240 the theme you
00:32:59.900 hear over and
00:33:00.480 over again.
00:33:00.760 I know everybody
00:33:01.200 says, well, it's
00:33:01.840 money and all
00:33:02.440 this stuff is
00:33:02.940 what can ruin
00:33:04.720 marriages.
00:33:05.500 No, I think if
00:33:06.700 you actually listen
00:33:07.300 to what these
00:33:07.700 people are saying,
00:33:08.480 so often this is
00:33:09.540 the theme that
00:33:10.060 comes up.
00:33:11.440 They didn't
00:33:11.880 notice me, he
00:33:12.900 didn't appreciate
00:33:13.660 what I was
00:33:14.160 doing, I was
00:33:15.120 doing this, I
00:33:15.680 was doing that.
00:33:16.340 They never
00:33:18.120 noticed, so on
00:33:19.080 and so forth.
00:33:19.920 Now, of course, in
00:33:20.400 a marriage, it's
00:33:20.980 like you don't want
00:33:21.700 to be doing
00:33:22.220 everything in
00:33:23.020 hopes of being
00:33:23.760 appreciated and
00:33:24.560 being noticed, but
00:33:26.540 if you're never
00:33:27.260 appreciated and
00:33:28.220 never noticed, it
00:33:29.380 takes a toll on you
00:33:30.060 after a while and
00:33:30.680 I think it'll
00:33:31.060 destroy your
00:33:31.480 marriage, so
00:33:31.880 that's something
00:33:33.060 to think about.
00:33:34.480 Chris says, love
00:33:35.320 the show.
00:33:35.740 Matt, do you
00:33:36.120 think that the
00:33:36.700 older Democrats in
00:33:37.620 Congress see the
00:33:38.420 irony that their
00:33:39.160 freshman colleagues
00:33:40.120 that they can't
00:33:43.000 control are a
00:33:43.980 product of their
00:33:44.660 own failed
00:33:45.380 entitlement and
00:33:46.120 victimhood policies?
00:33:47.920 Or do you think
00:33:48.680 that this is what
00:33:49.420 they're hoping for?
00:33:51.240 No, I'm sure they
00:33:52.040 don't notice the
00:33:52.880 irony, Chris, but I
00:33:53.720 think that's a very
00:33:54.420 excellent point.
00:33:56.700 Thank you for
00:33:57.100 raising it.
00:33:59.460 Katie says, hi,
00:34:00.220 Matt, I heard you
00:34:00.680 say that modern
00:34:01.180 sitcoms are
00:34:01.800 aggressively stupid.
00:34:02.920 I agree, but
00:34:03.480 here's my question.
00:34:04.240 What do you think
00:34:04.680 are the funniest
00:34:05.280 shows on television?
00:34:07.200 I don't know about
00:34:07.860 right now, I don't
00:34:08.540 watch sitcoms right
00:34:09.120 now, but the
00:34:09.860 office, the
00:34:10.580 American office
00:34:11.260 seasons one
00:34:12.320 through four and
00:34:14.000 a half.
00:34:15.460 I think that is
00:34:16.020 the, that right
00:34:17.040 there is the
00:34:17.780 funniest chunk of
00:34:18.980 television ever
00:34:20.360 put on, you
00:34:22.960 know, on the
00:34:25.380 American airwaves.
00:34:26.240 And then it fell
00:34:26.980 off rapidly from
00:34:27.780 there, but that's
00:34:28.660 what I would, that
00:34:29.400 would be my, my
00:34:30.020 vote.
00:34:32.820 Let's see.
00:34:35.020 Kelsey says, Matt,
00:34:36.360 I appreciate your
00:34:36.880 show.
00:34:39.120 I know your
00:34:39.760 children are young,
00:34:40.420 but I was
00:34:40.680 wondering, how do
00:34:41.300 you feel about
00:34:41.800 Christians sending
00:34:42.520 their kids to
00:34:43.060 public colleges?
00:34:44.420 I'm a disabled
00:34:45.060 veteran and my
00:34:45.860 kids have the
00:34:46.260 opportunity to get
00:34:46.860 grants for
00:34:47.400 California state
00:34:48.080 colleges.
00:34:49.000 I just don't know
00:34:49.660 if that education
00:34:50.320 is worth our
00:34:50.940 time.
00:34:51.300 Thanks for your
00:34:51.620 opinion.
00:34:52.260 Kelsey, thanks for
00:34:52.940 your service and
00:34:53.400 your sacrifice.
00:34:53.960 First of all,
00:34:57.840 you know, this is
00:34:58.300 just, this is just,
00:34:59.800 here's, here's what I
00:35:00.580 say about, generally,
00:35:02.240 my opinion is it's
00:35:03.520 best to avoid public
00:35:04.500 colleges, but you
00:35:05.120 have to make a
00:35:06.040 decision that's best
00:35:06.680 for you and for
00:35:08.660 your, for your
00:35:09.240 kids, especially.
00:35:10.460 My main thing,
00:35:11.340 whether it's a
00:35:11.760 public college or
00:35:12.440 a private college
00:35:13.280 or no college, I
00:35:15.540 think the main
00:35:16.060 thing, and this
00:35:16.960 should not be a
00:35:17.480 controversial point
00:35:18.340 of view, but the
00:35:18.960 main thing is, as
00:35:22.280 long as a kid has
00:35:25.300 some concept, some
00:35:28.180 vague general
00:35:29.380 concept of what
00:35:30.200 they want to do
00:35:30.660 with their life and
00:35:31.960 how they're going to
00:35:32.780 use their education
00:35:33.820 and sort of what the
00:35:35.280 point of it is going
00:35:36.120 to be for them, then
00:35:38.460 if they have that in
00:35:39.200 mind, then it's
00:35:39.640 easier to decide where
00:35:40.820 they're going to go to
00:35:41.320 college or if they're
00:35:42.040 going to go at all.
00:35:43.200 I think the problem
00:35:44.120 is so often when we
00:35:45.940 just toss our kids
00:35:46.980 into college, even
00:35:48.960 though they have no
00:35:49.480 idea what they want
00:35:49.960 to do with their
00:35:50.640 life, they have no
00:35:51.180 idea what their
00:35:51.580 skills are, no idea
00:35:52.600 what their passions
00:35:53.720 are, which just shows
00:35:56.040 you that's a failure
00:35:56.640 of the public school
00:35:57.320 system, that you can
00:35:58.000 have these kids that
00:35:58.680 go through 13 years
00:36:00.000 of formal education,
00:36:00.960 they get to the age
00:36:01.480 of 18 years old, and
00:36:03.140 so many of them have
00:36:04.000 no idea what they
00:36:06.360 care about, what
00:36:07.380 their views are, what
00:36:09.160 their priorities are,
00:36:10.120 what their goals are,
00:36:11.040 no clue.
00:36:12.920 And I know it's true
00:36:13.600 that at 18, you don't
00:36:14.260 have to have it all
00:36:14.780 figured out, but I
00:36:16.160 mean, you should have
00:36:16.960 some general idea of
00:36:18.780 what you're good at and
00:36:19.800 some kind of vague
00:36:21.240 idea of who you are as
00:36:22.280 a person, and so many
00:36:23.580 kids don't, and that's a
00:36:24.600 failure of the public
00:36:25.520 school education system,
00:36:27.540 but if a kid has that
00:36:29.160 in mind, then it's
00:36:30.200 easier to decide, okay,
00:36:30.900 I'm going to go here for
00:36:31.760 this reason, I'm going to
00:36:32.620 major in this, this is
00:36:33.520 the best place to go,
00:36:34.340 here's my plan.
00:36:36.680 But if they have no
00:36:37.560 idea at all, then what
00:36:40.200 I say all the time is
00:36:41.280 there's no reason for
00:36:42.740 them to go, they could
00:36:43.300 just go get a job, they
00:36:45.560 could move out, live in
00:36:46.600 an apartment on their
00:36:47.340 own, pay some bills,
00:36:48.900 experience adult life,
00:36:50.840 and then as they figure
00:36:52.280 it out, then they could
00:36:54.300 go to college, or they
00:36:56.300 may discover that they
00:36:57.120 don't need college for
00:36:58.040 what they want to do
00:36:58.580 with their life, and
00:37:00.180 they can spare
00:37:00.600 themselves the debt.
00:37:02.620 And everything else.
00:37:04.220 But there's no real
00:37:05.080 downside, it's not a
00:37:06.480 race.
00:37:08.920 So, I don't know if I
00:37:09.680 answer your questions, but
00:37:10.420 that's what I would say.
00:37:14.040 Corey says, Matt, when
00:37:14.920 you first started, I
00:37:15.660 hated you, but over time,
00:37:16.780 I have to admit, I've
00:37:17.860 come to still hate you.
00:37:22.780 Thank you for that.
00:37:24.760 Finally, Megan says, Matt,
00:37:25.780 on Twitter, I saw you
00:37:26.600 talking about becoming a
00:37:27.520 beekeeper.
00:37:28.500 Were you serious about
00:37:29.380 that?
00:37:29.500 I'm absolutely serious.
00:37:30.520 I'm going to order the
00:37:31.320 beekeeper.
00:37:31.440 I'm not a beekeeper yet,
00:37:32.460 but I'm ordering bees.
00:37:34.100 I've got the bee suit, and
00:37:35.800 I've got the frames, the
00:37:36.720 hives, and so I'm going to
00:37:38.180 start my beekeeping
00:37:38.980 journey this year.
00:37:43.520 Why am I becoming a
00:37:44.380 beekeeper?
00:37:44.960 Just because, you know,
00:37:46.220 because why not?
00:37:46.820 Number one, why not be a
00:37:47.780 beekeeper?
00:37:48.560 I also think that I want to
00:37:50.300 have a hobby that has
00:37:50.980 nothing at all to do with
00:37:51.840 this, and nothing to do
00:37:52.840 with anything, you know,
00:37:55.060 politics or anything like
00:37:56.140 that.
00:37:56.920 And I also think that bees
00:37:57.720 are fascinating.
00:37:58.340 They really are.
00:37:58.860 If you read about bees,
00:37:59.920 if you just go watch like a
00:38:01.340 documentary on bees or read
00:38:02.500 about them, these are
00:38:03.220 fascinating creatures who are
00:38:05.820 also crucial to the, to
00:38:09.900 humanity and to agriculture.
00:38:13.760 But just one example of the
00:38:15.140 fact, and I could go on for
00:38:15.880 30 minutes about bees.
00:38:16.700 I won't do it.
00:38:17.740 Maybe someday I will.
00:38:18.940 One fascinating thing about
00:38:20.140 bees is, you know, bees can
00:38:23.800 find sources of, of pollen and
00:38:27.880 nectar that are miles away.
00:38:29.260 And you may wonder, well, how
00:38:29.900 do they find them?
00:38:30.520 How do they find the flowers
00:38:31.460 and vegetation and
00:38:32.160 everything?
00:38:33.260 Well, what they'll do is
00:38:34.020 they'll send out scouts to go
00:38:35.820 and find, you know, some
00:38:37.220 patch of flowers somewhere in
00:38:38.660 a field, you know, and then
00:38:40.260 the bees will come back and
00:38:43.340 now they have to communicate
00:38:44.480 to the other bees where those
00:38:46.400 flowers are.
00:38:47.500 And the flowers could be two
00:38:48.500 and a half miles away.
00:38:49.520 And so they have this little
00:38:50.560 dance that they'll do where
00:38:51.720 they wiggle their body in a
00:38:52.580 certain way and they're
00:38:53.340 essentially communicating the
00:38:54.560 coordinates to the other bees
00:38:56.560 who are standing there
00:38:57.880 watching and then they all go
00:38:59.540 and they find the flower.
00:39:00.320 I mean, that is fascinating.
00:39:02.700 And it shows you God's design
00:39:04.580 in nature as well, which is
00:39:05.780 maybe one of the reasons I
00:39:06.640 like it.
00:39:07.220 All right, we'll leave it
00:39:07.900 there.
00:39:08.700 Thanks for watching,
00:39:09.440 everybody.
00:39:09.680 Thanks for listening.
00:39:11.860 Godspeed.

00:39:25.300 Do walls work or are they
00:39:26.600 merely symbolic?
00:39:27.400 We will analyze.
